OK that helps with how to construct the entire assembly but I'm more interested in what to use for number 1 (top) of your diagram or in other words, what is connect to (A) in my picture.

For instance, when I connected (12) in my picture to (A) it leaked from the top.

Are you using a washer on the tailpiece?

I tried using a washer but it was too thick and the tail piece didnt screw on to the strainer body. As you can see in the first picture below, when I put the washer on, it doesnt leave me enough thread. When I try to screw this on, it doesnt catch.

In the pictures below, do I have the right washer to fit the tailpiece?

And just in case it's not clear.....DON'T use the flex (corrugated) pieces....

Every one of those baffles is in reality a dirt trap.....in no time that thing is going to be full of garbage....the store should be fined for even having it on the shelf.....

Use #12. It may need to be longer though
